First Line: Slanting rain and a sky of gray
Last Line: And you—at home!
Subject(s): Absence; Grief; Love; Rain; Water; Separation; Isolation; Sorrow; Sadness
SLANTING rain and a sky of gray,
Drifting mist and a wind astray,
The leaden end of a leaden day
And you—away!
Light in the west! The sky's pale dome
Gemmed with a star; a scented gloam
Of bursting buds and rain-wet loam
And you—at home!
